Asked for male, 24 years old from Pulwama

I am 24, male. A year or two before I faced this problem of frequent urination, mostly at night. But then it went away on its own. Then, like 2 months ago it happened again with some irritation and burning sensation somewhere the near pelvis. A doctor prescribed me silodosin 4 mg (1x), flavoxate (1x) and nitrofurantoin 100 mg (2x). After taking the dosage for 2 days I had my usg done which was normal. So I just had nitrofurantoin for one more day and stopped the whole medication. But then it occurred again and this time nitrofurantoin is not working (took it for 3 days now) and the burning sensation and frequent urination is more severe. I am experiencing sleepless nights bcz of frequent urination, burning sensation. I can also hear and feel some gurgling sounds near the pelvis. Please help.

Add syrup cital 3 teaspoons three times per day after meals. It is advisable to meet your doctor at earliest.

Check your bp, hemoglobin, electrolytes, vitamin d and b12 levels. Might be some deficiency. Alpha blockers can also be the cause.

It may take a few months for the prostate size to decrease. Till then continue taking symptomatic treatment as you already are. Follow up regularly with your doctor to check for prostate size and any changes.

Health Query

My doctor prescribed silodal d8 combinatory capsule for bph for 30 days initially & continued for another 60 days as per his advise. Now he has reduced dosage to silodal 8 for 60 days. There has been considerable relief after taking this medicine. I have noticed mild bottom right side abdominal pain continuously from the time I started taking silodal d8. I want to know whether it is side effect of medicine or symptoms of appendicitis. Please clarify.

This is a good medicine but if you want you can change to silodal. It contains silodosin but side effect profile is same as urimax. These medicines are to be continued for a longer period.

Asked for male, 25 years old from Delhi

I am 25 years old male. 2 months back I was feeling dribbling or urine and discomfort in inner thighs. Doctor gave me levoflox 500 mg once a day and roliten 2 mg as he thought it could be uti. But 2 days, I got relief from and urine pressure and output was normal. But after 3 days, again same problem happened with me. I went for ultrasound kub, it shows mild hydronephrosis only in left kidney. Doctor gave me veltam 0.4 mg to pass the stone. After taking veltam 0.4 mg for 8 days it was relief and on the 9th day it started with burning sensation and weak urine stream. Then I went for ct scan kub. In ct scan, it shows mild fuĺless in kidneys due to distended bladder as I was not able to urinate properly. My kft reports were normal as my creatinine was 0.85 and my hba1c is 5.3. There was hesitancy in my uroflowmetry report of 15 sec. Avg flow is 9.7 and peak flow is 16.8 doctor said we consider it normal and he gave me urotone 25 mg and silodosin 8 mg for 2 weeks. For 1 week I felt relief but again on 8 th day it occurred again and now from 17 days I have to apply pressure to pass urine and it comes with weak stream. Sometimes stream is better and but sometimes it is very weak. Abdomen pain and pelvic pain is also there. Yesterday also I consulted with one urologist and he told me that it could be chronic prostatitis as we cannot detect in the above mentioned reports. He prescribed me bacstol 100 mg 3 times a day and alfoo 10 mg once a day. I just want to know why it is recurring and is my treatment going in right direction as I am very depressed. Please help me.
